Sardines and Mercury: Sardines are considered the healthiest of fish as far as mercury contamination; they are at the bottom of the aquatic chain based on what they eat and do not feed on things contaminated with mercury, so you can relax!!

Enjoy your fish: Nobody has shown any epidemiological link with brain damage versus the mercury that you naturally have in fish. In one big study, kids that are more fish were measurably smarter. After Minanata, the EPA for political reasons arbitrarily chose the fish with the most mercury and warned pregnant women not to eat them. There's no real science here.
